CC will be an add-on to RO, which is very clever. One can play KrasnyiOktyabr and then choose Nalchik.

MN and DH went the other way, I'd say - wrong way. Their mods will divide our small community.

I gonna love this! :D

Can we make our servers redirect or make new users download the needed files when visiting the server with CC?

I hope MN and DH will change there strategic vefore they release the Mod.
It will be very hard to find good server if the one playing RO and the other want to play MN and DH. Nobody will cloose a game and start a new one only because he want to play on Westfront.
I would be really better if we only need to open one start.exe for playing all the new MODs and the Original RO. Than u can switch easy between West- and Eastfront or hot dersert.

Redirect will be a bad idea but possible the first release will be about 100mb (at least, but don't quote me on that I am just a tester minion :eek:)

The player needs to download the files anyway :) or maybe the server can give the player a popup message with a download link. I dont know, but I dont like to have a server that not everyone can play at.

Pfff, you're not the biggest fans of CC!
Nestor have said in the interview that it's something more like 1,5 GBs, duh!

:)

(or was it 1 GB?)

Well the release will probably be compressed if they compress it using a good compressor you can probably half the size of the actual folder.

We promised you guys that we will put out new stuff every week and we try hard to keep the promise.
This week we got you a "new" map, which will please especially players who remember it from the mod:

We are talking about Maikop. After we came to know that Greenhell is working on a conversion of the map to
Ostfront and after we opened CC to mappers we could convince him to include some of our new toys on the map.
Make sure to shoot enemies running around with binocs and to get cover when you hear a distant "ooomph".
Also, dont be too sure that the wooden bunkers provide that cover for too long...

And well, no news without pics, so here we go:






We would also like to send our best wishes out to the team behind Mare Nostrum for their imminent release tomorrow.
They released a list of items included in the Open Beta and to get your expectations right, make sure to head to their page to read their release notes.
